What you study	Mathematics	Mathematics Statistics	Business Studies Mathematics
What it is	You study pure and applied mathematics — algebra, calculus, geometry, and how to solve real problems with math. The co-op stream lets you alternate between classroom learning and paid work terms at companies or research labs, giving you practical experience alongside theory. This suits people who want to test whether they prefer pure mathematics, data work, or applied roles in industry before committing to a specialization.	Applied Mathematics is a degree program focused on using mathematical and statistical tools to solve real-world problems in science, engineering, business and other fields. Unlike pure mathematics, which emphasizes theory, applied mathematics centers on practical applications and methods you can use to model and analyze systems. Co-op is optional, letting you alternate study terms with paid work placements in relevant industries. This program suits students who enjoy mathematics and want to see how it works in actual problem-solving contexts.	You study both business and mathematics together in one integrated degree, with mandatory work terms built into your schedule. Unlike a regular double degree where you'd finish one program then move to the other, you take courses from both fields simultaneously over five years, alternating between school and paid co-op placements. This suits students who want to combine analytical problem-solving with business skills and are willing to commit to the longer timeline and work requirement.
